Welcome to the cradle of Louisiana Methodism.

Louisiana Memorial United Methodist Church was started in 1806. It is the oldest church west of the Mississippi river. For over 200 years this church has been making disciples of Christ and making history in Opelousas, Louisiana. We have baptized thousands of children and confirmed thousands of youth. We have sent out numerous missionaries and raised up numerous ministers. We have a long and storied history.

...and We believe it is a good start.

Louisiana Memorial is just getting started. We know there are thousands more in this community and this world that haven't heard the good news. We know that we have a long history with deep roots so we can grow the Kingdom of God even bigger. We want to transform Opelousas, Louisiana through the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that our future is even more important than our past.
